Council directs update to Buildings & Inspections code report on complaints and chronic offenders
Summary
Council approved an amended motion asking the administration to update Building & Inspections code report 202400403 with statistics on complaints, cases, chronic offenders and enforcement status, and to report on current outstanding orders.
Cincinnati City Council adopted an amended motion directing the administration to provide an update to Building & Inspections code report 202400403 with statistical information on complaints, cases and chronic offenders, and to report on the status and enforcement of previously issued orders.
Council member Albee introduced the original request and asked for the original 2024 report's data to be refreshed so the council can see shifts in addresses with the most orders, individuals with the most open orders, and average days to compliance. "We asked for a report from Building Inspections going through the process of what happens when a BNI complaint is called in," Albee said, noting the value of a top‑10 list and enforcement metrics.
Council member Nolan added that the council needs to understand not only the data but what the administration did with it — specifically, enforcement actions and outstanding orders. The amended motion was offered with co‑sponsors listed by the clerk and passed on roll call.
Recorded roll call votes were all in the affirmative. The motion asks the administration to update the dataset and return to the committee with current enforcement status and an updated list of outstanding orders.
The council did not adopt any immediate enforcement action as part of the motion; the item is an information request intended to inform subsequent decisions about code enforcement and chronic offender response.
